Strategic Forecasting with Machine Learning for Geopolitical Analysis
- Strategic forecasting of regional geopolitical development is important for early warning and contingency planning. Open source data and machine learning can help to identify indicators for effective scenario development. Using data of the Bertelsmann Transformation Index (BTI) and the machine learning software Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA), this paper gives an insight into the generation of a decision tree to provide indicators for forecasting regional development across parts of Northern and Western Africa. Results show that machine learning with open source data can support redefining indicator development but does not replace critical thinking.
